Popular club jockey Pierra Makena is currently on the receiving end of insurmountable flack from Kenyans on X over claims of having her 8-year-old daughter Ricca Pokot accompany her to club gigs. The social media users pointed out that the out what they consider unusual parenting by their perceived standards. Multiple tweets faulted the DJ’s actions, suggesting she was exposing her daughter to volatile and unsafe environments.
Many argued that at her age, she should be shielded more and under the confines of home under the care of a guardian while her mom is working. Further, multiple highlighted pedophilic comments on the kid’s TikTok account, showing grown men and women alike sexualizing her frequent dances and content she shares. Pokot hosts a popular kids’ show on a local TV station, a gig that has catapulted her fame, as her mother’s stature in the industry has in equal measure.
DJ Pierra has yet to respond to the controversy. Here are some sample tweets: DJ Pierra Makena anaenda na Mtoi wa 8 years clubs usiku akienda gigs and when someone tries to call her out mnasema ati ''zaa wako ulee venye unataka?" Hatukuangi serious man!— Josh (@Josh001J) August 18, 2024 I’ve seen the Pierra Makena discourse and I saw people mention her daughter’s and her tiktok. I went to check it out and I am beyond flabbergasted.
What are those comments!!?? This is an 8 year old child!! I can’t pic.twitter.com/9CnqDuRaeM — Victor | #FreePalestine🇵🇸 (@vickz84259) August 17, 2024 Seen videos of that Pierra Makena's kid idk why she always sounds so irritating.
Thing of trying to monetize kids early in their lives in the name of empowerment steals so much life out of them. Let kids do kid things. It's not confidence when a kid runs her mouth like Kanyari— Lord Iblīs (@Ritchiepreach) August 17, 2024 How pierra dressers that child bothers me a lot.
Watching her tiktoks is quite unsettling too. Grown men are constantly sexualising that child!! https://t.co/5Zqd6g14WR — A baby girl 🥰 (@LauraMcOnyango) August 17, 2024 Pierra Makena is what they called not everyone deserves to be a parent.
How do you expose your child to such SMH https://t.co/1qSUrNUacJ — Wayne^ (@waynaina) August 18, 2024 alafu when you call out women that overexpose the child unaambiwa “uzae wako ulee vile unataka”😭😭 Children don’t belong to Social Media ama basi if she means well for the child Dj Pierra Makena afunge comments just like what Kim K does for Northie— N1xx (@nicoleviar) August 18, 2024 DJ Pierra Makena has been grooming her daughter buana. She's been letting that kid interact more w adults than kids.
